The bear was hungry or threatened.

(...oh sorry, was I not supposed to upset the liberal retard author.)

This happened about 15 miles from my house. I can see the area from my back deck. We had a bull moose walk across the yard on Friday morning.

They think they found the bear, a 280 pound male that they estimate was 40 years old. The wildlife officers dispatched it.

Three words: Karelian Bear Dog.

Don’t leave home without one!

[MarMema]

Because the liberal moonbats like Sierra Club are loading us up with predators to rewild the country.

People should be stacked and packed in apts in cities.

Give the bear some food stamps.

It's coming right for us!

Quick, thin out their numbers!

Maybe Dylan’s head looks like a pic-a-nic basket to Yogi.

I’ve heard of one case where a bear dragged off one of a pair of campers in the night. They found her half-eaten body a few hours later, before tracking down the bear itself. Respect nature by being ready to kill it if necessary.

[Reily]

Because it’s a bear, a wild animal.

[blueunicorn6]

Maybe the bear was dragging Dylan to get him away from a really bad bear that was running around in the area smoking cigarettes and playing loud music.

We may have a case of bear heroics here.

“It’s going to be a long summer with bears until we start getting some moisture," Lewandoski told local reporters.

Wut? This has been a very wet spring and summer so far. Haven't seen things this lush and verdant on the Front Range for some years now.

Bears.....nature’s WalMart greeters.

[MarMema]

want kids to see this?

If a very large area, usually at least 5000 acres, of land can be freed of human activity then a core area can be created there. This is where the large predators, like wolves, cougar, grizzly bear, etc. have been or will be reintroduced.

Rewilding is “the scientific argument for restoring big wilderness based on the regulatory roles of large predators,” according to Soul and Reed Noss in their landmark 1998 Wild Earth article “Rewilding and Biodiversity.”>

That was predatory/scavenging behavior.

I don't know why the bear attacked the young man and despite the headline still don't. However, I do know that when I was a Scout leader we warned the campers not to use any shampoo which smelled of fruit like, say, strawberries. Bears will be attracted to your scalp should you do so.

Based on the article one would think this Dylan knew that and practiced safe and proper hygiene. One thing, though, it is doubtful the bear attacked him for no reason.

Reminds me of the movie ‘Backcountry’ only Dylan faired much better than the gent in that story which I believe was based on an actual event. Good movie, like jaws in the woods.

"'I'm not afraid of the bears. I'm not afraid of sleeping outside anymore. You just have to be aware and respect the animals,' Dylan told KMGH-TV."

Was he previously unaware of bears and did not respect them prior to having one chew on his skull? What do his words of wisdom mean?

A bear food commercial:
“You know it is good when you hear a crunching sound”
